The personal relations between the Gear

THE EcoNoMc WAR
between Russfs and Germany has had fresh
development in the Cars ukase giving Eng
lish and French imports preferencei in rates,
English goods obtaining a remission of
twenty per cent. because England levies no
duty on Russian corn and French goods at
ten per cent. rebate, because of the limited
duty levied by France on Russian
corn. The obnoxious aim Of the
edict is to strike q blow at German
trade. To these evidences Of hostility are
now added increased military preparations
on the frontier. The Russian press
prophesies important diplomatic action
will be taken by the Cars Government
loon after his return to Moscow. These
menaces, however. do nOt alarm Ger
many, which is confident OF it's own strength
and the security OF the triple alliance.
An
AMBIGUOUS OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION
coming from Moscow tonight is giving rise
to various surmises as to the Cars de.
signs. Count Lamsdorff, director OF the
Cars diplomatic bureau, who has ju.t re-
turned from Copenhagen, brought an utter.
ance from the Gar, which, as given to the
press is that an immediate solution OF the
Bulgarian crisis should be forced. Not a
word more is communicated to explain the
act. Well informed officials regard the
%utterarce as q pacific one. and it is sup
posed to point to some new diplomatic
scheme Tor the settlement of the Bulgarian
question.
